"I suppose after we eat I should start reading about plants and such." Lucas smiled as he ate his meal. "It'll be great to learn something new and to help those who truly need it."

[TheDyingDay]

"Yes, I believe we should learn some bits here and there."

[Eskal]

Lucas nodded.

[TheDyingDay]

Silette continued to eat in silence before sighing, "Hey...Lucas...may I ask a question?"

[Eskal]

"Of course. What do you want to know?" Lucas asked.

[TheDyingDay]

"How does love feel like?" asked Silette, "I never knew how it felt because if I were to feel a strong bond with a person...you know what happens."

[Eskal]

"Hm...I can't really explain it. I've never really been interested in anybody romantically."

[TheDyingDay]

"Oh...I'm sorry."

[Eskal]

"No, it's fine. I just think if you meet somebody and you're meant to be together, you'll know."

[TheDyingDay]

"I hope I'll feel that one day."

[Eskal]

Lucas nodded. "I hope so as well."

[TheDyingDay]

Silette picked up her plates and took Lucas' plates also and placed them in the sink.

[Eskal]

"Should we go for a walk?" Lucas offered.

[TheDyingDay]

She paused in washing the plates, "No thank you." she said politely, she was taking a few steps from him.

[Eskal]

Lucas nodded. "Very well then. I'll be sure not to wander too far from the cottage." He smiled at her and stepped out of the house.

[TheDyingDay]

She smiled before she looked away, "Get a grip on yourself Silette, don't become close with him." she muttered, shutting her eyes tight as Lucas' image remained in her head.

[Eskal]

Lucas took a path into the surrounding woods and took in the sights and smells. Once in a while he would pause to admire and observe the local wildlife and plants. The raw, untouched plants were a drastic change from the controlled gardens back at the palace. It was a plesant change and had its own flare to it. He smiled to himself as he strolled and felt himself relaxing.

[TheDyingDay]

Silette however soon began to make clothes for Lucas, being her first time to use a thread and needle, she kept on accidentally pricking her finger and cutting herself, until she made a simple set of clothes for Lucas before she quickly wrapped her hands with cloth.

[Eskal]

Lucas returned with a small bouquet of wild flowers and put them in a vase and then placed them on the kitchen's table. "Silette, I'm back. The woods are a great place to relax."

[TheDyingDay]

Silette came out and smiled, "Lucas...I-I've a surprise for you." she stammered, her hands hidden behind her back in an attempt to hide her wounded hands.
